Quote by Ilene Beckerman

“You got a minute, God? I'm not really complaining but it says that a man has 613 mitzvahs to do but a woman has only 3. So how come I am busy from the minute I wake up in the morning until I go to bed at night, and Mr. Goldberg, who has 613 mitzvahs to do, has enough time to go upstairs at four o'clock every afternoon and take a nap?”
